It was great to have my PhD research on netball-specific footwear for men showcased by @WINNews_Woll last night 👟🏐

[Biomechanics Research Laboratory @BRLUOW]

Such a wonderful opportunity to have @WINNews_Woll & @nathan_dart visit our lab yesterday to showcase Maddy’s research into netball-specific footwear for men.

Stay tuned to see our story shared in the lead up to the release of the first ever documentary on men’s netball 👀

I will soon be advertising a funded PhD that aims to develop a new psychological intervention to reduce fear of falling in older adults. Will be based with me at Imperial, but the project will be in collab with the falls prevention team at UCL Hospitals (& @GrzegorzDrozdz). 1/2

[Toby Ellmers @Toby_Ellmers]

Will hopefully launch the official advert in early Jan., but I welcome any informal discussions with interested applicants before then. Will have a heavy social science and applied focus, so experience with qual. research and/or working with older adults a bonus! 2/2 @GeriSoc

We're looking for some new neuro colleagues at Emory BME! We'd love what we call "glue people" to integrate in our @ATL_NextGenNeur and @GT_Emory_NECs communities. The Emory side includes @ShellaKeilholz @chethan @Samuel_J_Sober @NPResearchLab @gordonberman @JLucasMcKay and more!

[REALab VCU @PetersonREALab]

Congrats to graduate student Thibault Roumengous and undergraduate student Alec Reutter @VCU_BME on their published work! The effect of low-cost transcranial magnetic stimulation navigation on hotspot targeting and motor evoked potential variability!

We're hiring! We are looking for a tenure-track exercise physiologist. Excellence is most important, but we are also particularly interested in someone who applies their work to wearable technology. We take equity, diversity, and inclusion seriously. Please retweet!

[VCU Motor Control Lab @VCUMCL]

@virtuallyxander @VCUPMDC Fantastic work by our very own @virtuallyxander!! #watchthisspace

[Xander Stamenkovic @virtuallyxander]

My first foray into the grant success machine! Not possible without the critical feedback, insight and backing of @VCUPMDC!

Excited to get some answers, and to begin tackling trunk mobility and control in PD from many angles.
